It's been nearly 24 hours now and the speed is getting worse every hour!
This is simply unacceptable for the reseller of a company like Giganews.
And beware, I thought I was in trial period but they've directly charged my card for the first month (full price=14,95) just because I tried Usenet.net first, so now I'll have to use this crappy service for a whole month!!

[i]We re-routed our traffic around the problem. Our users can connect, but
download speeds are still slow for some. Our network engineers are
monitoring the situation. They will route the traffic back to the fast
path as soon as they can.

Powerusenet rocks! I've been with them for over a year and never had any problems. My speed always maxes out with 3 or 4 connections. The recent increase to 105 days retention and 6 slots just saturates my pipe all the more.

btw, 24 hours of slow speeds isn't much to complain about if you ask me.
